The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework
Social Responsibilities
Introductory Guide for Teachers and Educational Managers
Why teach Life Competencies? Our world is changing fast and we need to prepare our students with the skills and experiences that go beyond simply learning an additional language. We see the increasing need to work together with people from around the world, to think creatively and solve problems, to analyse sources more critically, to communicate our views effectively, and to maintain a positive mindset in an increasingly complex world.
We understand that the engaging and collaborative nature of the language classroom is the perfect place to develop and embed these key qualities and the Cambridge Life Competencies Framework supports teachers in this challenging area.

What is the Cambridge Life Competencies Framework? The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework has been created in response to educators who have asked for a way to understand how life skills, or 21st century skills, can be integrated into English language programmes. It is made up of six Competencies that describe how these essential skills develop and vary across different stages of education, as learners grow and change. CREATIVE THINKING
Learners actively participate in creative activities, generate new ideas and use them to solve problems.
CRITICAL THINKING
Learners identify patterns and relationships, evaluate ideas and use these skills to solve problems.
LEARNING TO LEARN
Learners develop practical skills to support and take control of their learning and reflect on their own progress.
COMMUNICATION
Learners choose the most appropriate language to use in different situations, manage conversations effectively and express themselves clearly and confidently.
COLLABORATION
Learners work well together in groups through actively taking part in group activities, listening to others, sharing tasks and finding solutions to problems.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Learners recognise and describe different roles and responsibilities in a variety of groups and understand cultural and global issues.
EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Learners describe and manage emotions and develop positive relationships with others.
The Learning Journey The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework supports learners at all stages of their learning journey, from very young pre-primary learners right through to adults in education and at work. The framework maps out how learner behaviours typically found within each competency can change and develop as learners encounter new situations and circumstances in their lives, both within and beyond the classroom.

Understanding the Cambridge Life Competencies Framework The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework is made up of six Competencies – Creative Thinking, Critical Thinking, Learning to Learn, Communication, Collaboration and Social Responsibilities. Each broad competency is broken down into Core Areas that describe these competencies in more detail. These are then analysed further into Components that, along with example Can Do Statements, describe the observable behaviours that learners are likely to be able to demonstrate by the end of each stage of learning if they have had the opportunity to develop in these areas.
Competency Core areas Components Example Can Do Statements
Linked to the competencies are the three foundation layers of the framework – Emotional Development, Digital Literacy and Discipline Knowledge. Development of skills in these foundation layers underpins all other competencies. Along with this structured breakdown, we provide example language that learners may use to express the actions and behaviours found in each of the Core Areas at each stage of learning. The examples used have been informed by both our Functional Language Phrase Bank, a collection of spoken data from expert speakers of English from children to adults, and input from experienced ELT practitioners from around the world. See this example for one Core Area within Social Responsibilities at the Primary stage: COMPETENCY

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Understanding personal responsibilities as part of a social group
Understanding responsibilities within a social group
Describes roles and responsibilities they have as members of social groups (e.g. family, friendship groups, school class etc.).

I must [put up my hand in class/follow rules].
By clearly defining these areas of development in a structured and detailed way, we can ensure that our teaching and learning materials take a systematic approach to delivering and developing these skills in our learners, as they progress. This means that teachers can be assured that our resources bring out the best in their students, without creating extra work. The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework is an ongoing project, evolving through stages of validation and teacher feedback. Go to cambridge.org/clcf to see how you can get involved.

What are Learning ? to Learn Social Responsibilities How do we engage with other people in an increasingly globalised world? This competency looks at how we can help people develop the skills to contribute better to the social groups they engage with. As the groups they become part of change over time, they need to be able to think about their roles within them, and how they contribute positively to them. They also need to improve their ability to work and link up with people from very different backgrounds and cultures to their own. There is, in addition, the need to step back and see their social engagement from a more global perspective: what are the major issues affecting the world and how do they relate to their own lives? We have identified three Core Areas within Social Responsibilities: SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Understanding personal and social responsibilities as part of a social group
Showing intercultural awareness
Understanding global issues
• Understanding personal and social responsibilities as part of a social group refers to identifying and perceiving the significance of personal and social responsibilities across different levels, ranging from the local to the global. This involves learners fulfilling their personal and social responsibilities as a member of a social group and/or as a global citizen, and taking responsibility for their own actions. • Showing intercultural awareness refers to a learner being able to describe and analyse features of their own culture and of the culture of others, and to make comparisons in a positive and respectful way. It also includes being able to collaborate with people from other cultures. Culture in this context can relate to cultures of different countries or to cultures of different groups and organisations, e.g. workplaces. • Understanding global issues includes identifying, discussing and understanding a range of perspectives on global issues, for example on topics related to health, human rights and the environment. Learners will be able to understand how their own behaviours can contribute positively or negatively to the identified issues. Within these Core Areas we break things down further, defining the Components that make up each Core Area:
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
Understanding personal responsibilities as part of a social group
Understanding responsibilities within a social group
Showing intercultural awareness
Understanding aspects of own culture
Fulfilling responsibilities within a social group
Understanding aspects of other cultures Interacting with others across cultures
Understanding global issues
Discussing a range of global issues Recognising personal impact on global issues
5
Learning to Learn Social Responsibilities across the learning journey Core Areas may be realised in different ways across the different stages of learning. In order to demonstrate this, each Core Area and Component is contextualised by an example Can Do Statement. This illustrates what kinds of behaviour students who are competent in this area might display by the end of each stage of learning. These example Can Do Statements can be used as a starting point in the development of a curriculum, programme or assessment system and will vary in their suitability for learners in different contexts. The example language is provided for teachers to consider what kind of language they could encourage their students to use in these kinds of tasks.

SECONDARY Learning to Learn Social Responsibilities in the classroom The changing nature of the societies in which today’s learners live means certain issues need to be addressed in lessons which will enable them to successfully negotiate the opportunities and challenges of a fast-paced, multicultural world. This way, teachers can help learners to understand and implement their rights and responsibilities in their home country and the wider global community. Teachers also need to support them in understanding and interacting with cultures worldwide. Furthermore, time should be taken in lessons to help learners engage with global issues and explore how their general behaviour contributes positively or negatively to that particular issue. The English language classroom is uniquely placed to provide an environment in which social responsibilities can be examined. Teachers may have a certain degree of flexibility when it comes to selecting topics, in order to practise target language. For this reason, social responsibility competencies can be incorporated into weekly lesson planning as they offer a stimulating and relevant context for meaningful language practice. Teachers have a vital part to play in terms of being an effective role model when dealing with topics related to social responsibilities: maintaining an impartial view on topics, handling discussions in a fair and balanced way, encouraging learners to respect diversity of opinions and allowing learners to come to their own opinions rather than imposing the teacher’s own.
10
Suggestions for classroom practice The ideas presented here are intended as a general indication of the types of activity that might develop this competency in the classroom, and are not a definitive list. GENERAL SUGGESTIONS Classroom behaviours All of these activities should include the following, in order to ensure that social responsibilities competencies are understood and practised: CORE AREAS
CLASSROOM BEHAVIOURS
Understanding personal and social responsibilities as part of a social group
Personal identification with the topic and an examination of how each learner can take responsibility for their actions in relation to that topic.
Showing intercultural awareness
Opportunities for learners to appraise their own culture and explore values and attitudes shared by other cultures, without discrimination or prejudice.
Understanding global issues
Awareness-raising tasks that sensitise learners to issues around human rights, the protection and sharing of natural resources, the importance of international cooperation and solutions to global problems.
Topics Learners often enjoy discussing social responsibility topics because they see the clear relationship between them and the real world. These topics provide a context which is stimulating, motivating and one in which learners can deploy their English language skills, not only to improve their ability to communicate but also to develop themselves as people with a stake in their local and global communities. Nevertheless, topics need to be selected with care (preferably in consultation with learners) and their presentation in class should be handled with sensitivity. The most effective way of incorporating these competencies into our lessons, with learners of all age groups, is to find a topic that will interest them. Global issues include everything from children’s rights to disposable fashion to the problems of single-use plastics, so it could be helpful to conduct a brief survey at the beginning of term on what topics appeal to the class. Then, when the topic has been established, you are ready to start thinking about how you might engage your learners with practical activities that enhance their knowledge and develop their competencies. A supportive and non-judgemental environment Learners have a right to their own opinion, but creating a non-judgmental atmosphere is key to successful lesson delivery. For primary learners, this can be framed as a ‘golden agreement’ and, in secondary and adult environments, as a ‘working’ agreement. Both could include codes of conduct related to expressing opinions, respecting differences of opinion, listening actively and interrupting politely.
11
PRIMARY The Cambridge Life Competencies Framework offers a good starting point in ensuring that young learners come away from a lesson better informed and equipped with new skills for interacting with the world around them. Role play The following is an example of a role play activity that can be used to integrate the topic of personal responsibilities in society, into an English class. Learners could be introduced to their roles through visual cues (brother or sister/son or daughter/classmate/friend/team member) and match these to the responsibilities of each role (the responsibility to share, be considerate of others’ feelings, be fair, respect others’ opinions, help the more vulnerable, follow rules, etc.). Learners could work in pairs or groups to role-play a situation, such as the following: • A classmate at school or family member at home is not fulfilling their duties responsibly; • Learners imagine they are leaders of their country and brainstorm a list of the roles and responsibilities they would give to people in their country. Comparing Cultures Another area of Social Responsibilities that affords learners opportunities for exploration and discussion is that of cultural awareness. A country that is a contrast to the learners’ own is a good starting point: for example, learners in Germany could focus on Bangladesh and vice versa. The lesson could begin with learners adding details to a map of the focus country (capital city, rivers, mountains, etc.) using online resources to help them. Learners then read a short text about a child of a similar age, entitled ‘A day in the life of…’ This can spark a number of creative activities such as: • Writing a diary entry from the point of view of that child which might include his/her thoughts, feelings and hopes for the future. • Learners work in groups to look at pictures which show different problems that the child faces in their everyday lives. Each group could discuss the problem (in their mother tongue, if necessary) and prepare a short presentation for the rest of the class on how they would resolve it.
Over to you… 1. Choose one of the example activities in this section and try it out with your class. – Following the activity, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved next time, particularly focusing on the extent to which learners were able to develop their skills related to Social Responsibilities. 2. Using your course book or other materials, choose a few activities you may be using or topics that you may be teaching in your classes in the next week or so. Consider how you could use these to build on your students’ Social Responsibilities skills.
12
SECONDARY Through their increased awareness of the world around them and their exposure to other subjects on the curriculum, learners at secondary-school level are now in a position to dig more deeply into issues related to themselves as people, their immediate community and their place in a global society. Encouraging practical action outside of the classroom One crucial topic that has assumed increasing importance in the media lately is that of climate change. This topic can be explored through a wide variety of activities centred on: • reading texts • quizzes • discussions • competitions However, in order to further involve learners and develop their competencies, a clear call for action could be added to the activities listed above. In other words, any activities that are carried out in the classroom could be linked to practical action outside it.
Classroom activity Write down 3 personal actions you want to take to support the fight against climate change
Examples • encourage family and friends to recycle more • conserve resources like water and energy at home and in school
Personal actions • write an email to a national or world leader calling for urgent action on the climate crisis • link up with people in other countries (via Skype or ZOOM) to devise strategies and share tips on tackling the climate crisis

ADULT Adult learners may be aware of a number of global issues but might simply be too busy with work, studies and/or family to give them the due consideration they deserve. Engaging with complex issues At this stage of learning, learners are able to handle more complex issues (which may, nevertheless, have to be presented in linguistically appropriate terms depending on the language level of the class) through different activities such as: • case studies • film and video clips • drama/role-play • primary research tasks These could be used to explore causes, effects and potential solutions to global issues. The following example shows a classroom activity based on the topic of ‘ethical’ smartphones:
Classroom activity Watch a video clip about an ethical smartphone or Explore a website about an ethical smartphone (e.g. www.fairphone.com/en)
Tasks
Practical actions
• Comprehension questions
• Write a formal email to a company asking questions about the ethical aspects of its supply chain.
• True/False statements • Information transfer (fill in a grid with key details from the text) • Vocabulary development • Grammatical focus on recently learnt structures
• Create a campaign to raise awareness of the impact on developing countries of mining conflict minerals. • Design a survey to find out how aware colleagues are about the sources of the goods they buy (e.g. fair trade coffee/tea).
Enabling adult learners to analyse the impact of their consumer behaviour on the global workplace allows them to explore their own or future companies’ capacity to affect communities and the environment, while encouraging them to plan strategies for making their organisation more environmentally friendly. Over to you… 1. Choose one of the example activities in this section and try it out with your class. – Following the activity, reflect on what worked well and what could be improved next time, particularly focusing on the extent to which learners were able to develop their skills related to Social Responsibilities. 2.

STARTING AGAIN Between 1880 and 1910, 17 million Europeans made the decision to move to the United States and start a new life. Many of them never went back to their country of birth. This was part of what is known as the Great Atlantic Migration. It started in the 1840s and it is the largest migration in history. For many people, it was the first time they had ever left their hometown. The two-week journey was very unpleasant, and on larger ships up to 2,000 people were crammed into the lower decks. It was dark, there was little fresh water, and the air was rancid. So why choose to go through such a difficult experience? One major reason was hunger. For example, in Ireland in the 1840s, people used to depend on potatoes for food. When the potato crop failed for three years in a row, there was not enough to eat and around one million people died. After this, half of the Irish population decided to move to the United States. They were nervous about the journey, but they looked forward to a better life. r a ni sraey eerht rof deliaf porc eht nehW .doof rof seotatop no dn I am exceedingly well pleased at coming to this land of plenty. ht fo flaH .deid elpoep noillim eno dnuora dna tae ot hguone ton sa Letter from an Irish immigrant to The Times, London, 1850
Immigrants from all over Europe had their own story to tell. Although they had never experienced life in the United States before, they arrived ready to settle in a new culture. Immigrants helped build the United States into the country it is today. Like all migrations, the Great Atlantic Migration is the story of people making difficult decisions for the chance to start again.
